Introducing The GM107 GPU, Based On Maxwell
These days, gamers like their graphics cards beefy. Double-slot coolers and fancy fan shrouds are typically what elicit Tim Allen-style grunts and knowing nods of approval. After all, high frame rates require complex GPUs. Billions of transistors cranking away at Battlefield 4 get hot. And all of that heat needs to go somewhere.
So if you’re coming to the table with a short, naked PCB, it’d better have a trick or two up its figurative sleeve.
Yet, Nvidia, perhaps trying to prove a point, shipped out its reference GeForce GTX 750 Ti on a less than six-inch board. With no auxiliary power connector. Sporting a little bolted-on orb-style heat sink and fan. It’s pretty much the same size as GeForce GTX 650 Ti. But without the big cooler, GTX 750 Ti is daintier than even a lot of sound cards we’ve tested.
Nevertheless, Nvidia claims that its first Maxwell architecture-based product targets gaming at 1920×1080 in the latest titles using some pretty demanding settings. Could this be the graphics world’s Prius?
Maxwell In The Middle
Maxwell’s story is intriguing, partly because of what it means to the company’s design approach moving forward, but also because Nvidia is keeping more architectural details to itself than usual. Let’s start with the design.
Back in December of last year, we were in Santa Clara learning about Nvidia’s Tegra K1 SoC. We already knew that K1’s graphics engine was Kepler-based, essentially a single SMX with notable changes to the structures connecting various subsystems in a bid to optimize for power. But Jonah Alben, senior vice president of GPU engineering, also made it clear that every new architecture, from Maxwell onward, would be built with mobile in mind.
Engineers would optimize the fabrics between GPU components based on performance targets and power budgets. However, the fundamental building blocks would stay common between segments, and efficiency would guide the important decisions.
Tegra: Whence It Came
The impetus for Maxwell comes from Nvidia’s effort in the smartphone and tablet space. Read Nvidia Tegra K1 In-Depth: The Power Of An Xbox In A Mobile SoC? to learn more about that architecture.
This is clearly good news for the Tegra family, which continues clawing around for a more meaningful slice of market share. K1-based devices aren’t even here yet and we’re already thinking about Nvidia’s claim that Maxwell offers two times the performance-per-watt of Kepler, and what such sizable improvements could mean to mobile gaming.
A renewed emphasis on efficiency should be good on the desktop too though, providing the company’s retooled architecture continues scaling up from single- to double- and triple-digit power ceilings.
Fortunately, you won’t have to wait long for an answer. The GeForce GTX 750 Ti launching today should demonstrate what Maxwell can do (at least at a 60 W TDP). Nvidia says its more effective design pulls power consumption way down and nudges performance up, even in a GPU featuring fewer CUDA cores. Knowing that it wouldn’t have a new process technology node to lean on, Nvidia had to make its improvements to Maxwell with 28 nm manufacturing in mind. In other words, it needed to gets its GPUs working smarter, since simply tacking on more resources wouldn’t be an option.
The Maxwell Streaming Multiprocessor
Company representatives tell us that Maxwell’s biggest gains come from a redesign of the Streaming Multiprocessor, now abbreviated as SMM.
In Kepler, each SMX plays host to 192 CUDA cores, four warp schedulers, and a 256 KB register file. There’s also 64 KB serving as shared memory and L1 cache, a separate texture cache, and a uniform cache, plus 16 texture units.
The big jump in CUDA core count and control logic helped Nvidia overcome losing Fermi’s doubled shader frequency. But the SMX apparently proved difficult to fully utilize in this configuration.
Maxwell attempts to address that by partitioning the SMX into four blocks, each with its own instruction buffer, warp scheduler, and pair of dispatch units. Kepler’s 256 KB register file now gets split into four 64 KB slices. And the blocks have 32 CUDA cores each, totaling 128 across the SMM (down from Kepler’s 192). The previous architecture’s 32 load/store and 32 special function units carry over to Maxwell. However, double-precision math is further pared back to 1/32 the rate of FP32; that was 1/24 in the mainstream Kepler-based GPUs.

Every pair of blocks is tied to a 12 KB texture and L1 cache, adding up to 24 KB per SMM.
Block pairs are also associated with four texture units, meaning SMMs come armed with eight. That’s half as many texture units compared to Kepler’s SMX. And the table above makes it look like GM107 actually gives up some ground to GK106. But don’t freak out about bottlenecks quite yet. Remember, the architecture is supposed to get more done using less resources.
Lastly, there’s a 64 KB shared memory space for the SMM, which carries over from Fermi and then Kepler, but is no longer called out as L1 cache for compute tasks. It used to be that this space could be configured as 48 KB of shared space and 16 KB of L1 and vice versa. Now that’s not necessary, so all 64 KB is used as a shared address space for GPU compute.
As you might imagine, cutting 64 CUDA cores and eight texture units from the SMM means that each building block consumes significantly less die size. Meanwhile, Nvidia claims that it’s able to hold onto ~90% of the multiprocessor’s performance by keeping cores busy in a sustained way.
If you’re contemplating what that might mean to a tablet, you’re not alone. But in a desktop application, Nvidia’s simply able to pack more SMMs into a set amount of space. The GeForce GTX 650 Ti this card replaces employed four SMX blocks, while GeForce GTX 750 Ti incorporates five SMMs.
Constructing GM107
This is the first time we’ve seen Nvidia introduce a new architecture on a decidedly mid-range graphics card. With Fermi, it was the full-force GF100. Even the Kepler-based GK104 was an impressively-fast way to meet that architecture. So, the messaging is quite a bit different with GM107 leading the charge. Of course, that’s because GeForce GTX 750 Ti has to slot into a portfolio still dominated by Kepler, rather than simply ascending a throne.
And so it does so using a fully-enabled implementation of GM107, composed of five SMMs in a single Graphics Processing Cluster with its own Raster Engine. GM107 can set up one visible primitive per clock cycle, which is just behind GK106’s primitive rate of 1.
25 prim/clock and double GK107’s .5 prim/clock.
As in Nvidia architectures prior, ROP partitions and L2 cache slices are aligned. And like the GeForce GTX 650 Ti’s GK106 processor, GM107 sports two partitions with eight units each, giving you up to 16 32-bit integer pixels per clock. Where the two GPUs really diverge is their L2 cache capacity. In GK106, you were looking at 128 KB per slice, adding up to 256 KB in an implementation with two ROP partitions. GM107 appears to wield 1 MB per slice, yielding 2 MB of memory used for servicing load, store, and texture requests. According to Nvidia, this translates to a significant load shifted away from the external memory system, along with notable power savings.
Going easy on memory bandwidth is smart, since GM107 exposes a pair of 64-bit memory controllers to which 1 or 2 GB of 1350 MHz GDDR5 DRAM is attached. Peak throughput is, interestingly, exactly what we got from GeForce GTX 650 Ti: 86.4 GB/s. The memory is feeding fewer CUDA cores, but they’re managed more efficiently.
So, the big L2 is supposed to play an instrumental role in preventing a bottleneck.
Indeed, a look at global in-page random cache latencies helps illustrate how Maxwell’s memory hierarchy keeps the GPU busy more consistently.
Beyond the pieces of GM107 devoted to gaming and compute tasks, Nvidia also says it improved the fixed-function NVEnc block. That’s the bit of logic responsible for letting ShadowPlay encode your frag fest with minimal performance impact. It’s what enables streaming to the Shield. And it accelerates a few transcoding apps to get big movies onto your portable devices quickly. Whereas Kepler was capable of encoding H.264-based content ~4x faster than real-time, Maxwell purportedly achieves 6-8x real-time. H.264 decode performance is said to be eight to 10 times quicker than it was before, also. Nvidia achieves those gains, it says, by simply speeding up the fixed-function blocks.

All told, the GM107 GPU ends up with 1.87 billion transistors in a 148 mm² die. If you keep the comparison to GeForce GTX 650 Ti going, then the first Maxwell-based processor replaces GK106, which packs 2.
54 billion transistors into a 221 mm² die. Before we get to our performance results, we have to assume Nvidia’s emphasis on efficiency is significant enough to let the company use less transistors on a smaller die, cut out a lot of CUDA cores and texture units, and still improve performance overall. At least, that’s what we’ll be looking for…
Alternatively, you can put GM107 up against the 1.3 billion-transistor, 118 mm² GK107, if your preference is a face-off of thermal ceilings. In that case, the Maxwell-based processor is more complex, larger, significantly faster, and yet it should still use less power.

The announcement of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti video accelerator in February 2014 was quite a significant event.
Although even then it was far from being a flagship video card, but just a budget solution. But the first video accelerator based on the NVIDIA Maxwell microarchitecture, which replaced NVIDIA Kepler and featured much lower power consumption and very good performance. The TDP level of the GeForce GTX 750 Ti was only 60 W, which made it possible to make a quiet video card in a compact size without an additional power connector.
Years go by, and even after 4 years the budget accelerator is still capable of something, which only confirms its success. And the low price tag in the secondary market allows us to consider it even now as an option for the acquisition of low-cost users.
Let’s take a closer look at how the video card is able to handle the most current games. And in order to bring the conditions for using the GeForce GTX 750 Ti closer to reality, we will test not with an Intel Core i7 processor, but with a 2-core «hyperstump» Intel Pentium G4560.
We tested ZOTAC’s compact and quiet single-fan GeForce GTX 750 Ti.
Its graphics processor has 640 CUDA cores, 40 texture and 16 raster units in its structure. In addition, its clock speeds are 1-2% higher than the factory level. It is assisted by 2 GB of GDDR5 memory from Samsung with an effective frequency of 5400 MHz.
The processor is a 2-core 4-thread Intel Pentium G4560 with a clock speed of 3.5 GHz, which was installed on an ASRock h210M-HDS microATX board. The rest of the test stand was selected from the available components, so it definitely does not claim to be the optimal bundle.
The Vinga CL-2001B low-profile LED cooler was used for cooling, which also cooled the components around the processor. But since it is quite large for such a compact motherboard, the usual RAM modules did not fit. Although this is even good, because it allowed us to test the not very popular, but very interesting 8 GB Exceleram DDR4-2800 kit, which consists of two 4 GB sticks. Of course, the motherboard and processor only allowed it to work in DDR4-2400 mode, but in SPD it has a DDR4-2800 XMP profile with an operating voltage of only 1.
2 V.
The operating system and disk-intensive games were installed on a GOODRAM Iridium PRO series SSD, and the rest on a 2 terabyte HDD. All this goodness was collected in the Vinga Vision I case and powered by the Vinga VPS-650G unit. And for effective ventilation of the internal space, 120 mm propellers from Segotep were used. You have the right to use any other components from different brands.
Both current novelties and hits of past years were used for the test. All games were run in Full HD, so if you have a monitor with a lower resolution, then the speed performance will be even higher.
Let’s start with simpler projects. In DOTA 2 , you can play without problems with maximum graphics settings, enjoying a comfortable frame rate: an average of 91 FPS with drawdowns up to 75. Even in the event of a collision of several pumped heroes, there should be no problems, although there are lower settings in stock.
In Dying Light with high textures, a number of effects had to be disabled to reduce the load on RAM, because 2 GB of the video buffer was not enough. As a result, the processor and video card were loaded heavily, and unpleasant peaks slipped on the frame time graph, but in general you can play: the average speed was 51 FPS, and the minimum did not fall below 36.
At low settings Fallout 4 looks scary, so we switched to the middle preset. And here it all depends on the view of the world: if you look at settlements from a height, then the speed drops to the console level of 30 FPS. And if you wander through narrow lanes with a minimum draw distance, then we run into vertical synchronization. Therefore, on average, we received 43 frames / s with a drawdown of up to 31.
First launch of World of Tanks passed with the maximum graphics preset, which provided a beautiful picture and decent video sequence speed — an average of 55 FPS with drawdowns up to 46.
move to fix the target. On slower vehicles or on artillery, you are unlikely to feel them.
Alternatively, drop down to a high profile. The quality of the graphics does not suffer much from this, but the frame rate goes into the range of 60-100 FPS, the frame time graph becomes smoother, and the control is not satisfactory.
Fans of War Thunder will also have no problems running their favorite toy with the maximum graphics preset. The speed of the video sequence was in the range of 50-75 FPS, and the Frame Time graph was quite even. We did not experience any problems with management. That is, you can not even go to lower presets.
Traditionally for CS : GO we create the most difficult conditions by choosing the mode with bots on the Nuke map. And we set the settings to a minimum, because in the game of 2012 there is no need to expect a special quality of graphics.
